The problem was submitted to Business Insider\u2019s career advice column (I\u2019m a boss, and I\u2019m worried my team is talking about me behind my back): \u201cI manage a team that relies heavily on message and call apps to communicate. We have an official group chat that I mostly use to make announcements. But I recently learned that my team has another group chat that I\u2019m not a part of. One of my team members let it slip during a weekly meeting. I realize I\u2019m not always the easiest person to get along with \u2014 I tend to be brutally honest, which can make people uncomfortable. But I feel left out, and I can\u2019t shake the idea that they\u2019re talking about me. I am happy my team gets along, and, hey, who doesn\u2019t complain about their boss from time to time? But how can I let them know that if they have a problem, they can talk to me? And also that I wouldn\u2019t mind being invited for beers after work every once in a while? \u2014Dejected manager, Beaverton, Oregon\u201d Charlie explores how this boss can create a more healthy office culture (something many companies are struggling with in the new post-pandemic, hybrid workforce!).
